McGinley was convicted in 2002 of murder and has been serving a minimum 15-year sentence for killing her husband. He was bludgeoned to death by his wife's then lover Michael Monaghan at the McGinley home in Coa, Co Fermanagh, in August 2000.

Afterwards, Gerry's body was dumped in woodland across the border at Ballinamore, Co Leitrim, and only found in June 2001.

Last week, McGinley was spotted with her new fiance, who is thought to be in his 60s, at a Tesco store in east Belfast.
